Bug 427664 – www-servers/tomcat-7.0.29-r1 - init.d script fails to start jpda

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Märt Bakhoff 2012-07-22 18:06:12 UTC]

using sun-jdk-1.6 ~amd64

the new tomcat init script is broken:
1) in /etc/conf.d/tomcat-7 set TOMCAT_START="jpda start"
2) restart tomcat
3) java is not listening on JPDA_ADDRESS

cause: ${JPDA_OPTS} is included too late in the start command. moving it in front of -Dcatalina.base (or probably anywhere before org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap) makes all work again.

example / quick hack to get it working:
--exec ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/${cmd} -- \
  ${JAVA_OPTS} \
  ${JPDA_OPTS} \
  -Dcatalina.base="${CATALINA_BASE}" \
  -Dcatalina.home="${CATALINA_HOME}" \
  -Djava.io.tmpdir="${CATALINA_TMPDIR}" \
  -classpath "${CLASSPATH}" \
  org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap \
  ${CATALINA_OPTS} \
  ${args} ${TOMCAT_START}


Reproducible: Always

Indeed, those $args should be passed to the VM instead of the app. Fixed, revbump pending. Thanks for the report.
